Acorn A5000

I know very little about Acorn. I don't think they made it over here to the USA.
 
Back when all I had was my (reasonably souped-up, for the day) A1200, my mate's mum, a schoolteacher and thus a natural Acorn user, had one of the first RiscPC's. They were really nice.

An example of the Acorn series of personal computer. The first machines to unleash ARM processors on an unsuspecting the world :)
 
Indeed. The ARM (then Acorn RISC Machine) was designed for the Archimedes series of computers.
Then Apple discovered it'd be useful for the Newton but didn't want to buy from a competitor so ARM was born.

They're now selling 6.5 billion processors a year (about 20x more than x86).
